[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: we really like it and will probably use it, but I don't want my daughter's name to be the Jennifer from my generation! Oh well. Thanks for all of the responses! [/quote]

If you name your child Abigail youwill be the Jennifer of her generation.  I know of several kids in my circle named Abigail (grace being the common middle name btw).  Do it if you like the name but know your kid will be one of many.

I'm usually someone who warns against popular names, but I think it's an exaggeration to think of Abigail (or any other girl's name) as the Jennifer of this generation. At Jennifer's peak in the 1970s, over 17,000 out of every million girls were given the name. Right now, a bit over 3,000 out of every million girls are named Abigail. Even Isabella, the most popular girl's name right now, is given to some 5,000 girls out of every million. So the good news about popular names today is that they are less pervasive than during Jennifer's height. (See www.babynamewizard.com and see the name voyager for this sort of name fun.)[/quote]
